2008 Ford Mustang GT – Premium – Supercharged – “SHELBY KILLER”
Don't spend $30-$60K for a GT500...... You may end up with a GT500, but so will many other people. Save thousands and buy this Shelby Killer, have a one of a kind, low mileage, performance car that will perform equal to or better than a GT500 for thousands less.
This Mustang GT acquired in April 2015 from the original owner, who was an elderly, meticulous, retired Army Colonel. This Mustang GT is a Premium model with DUAL POWER SEATS, leather upholstery, Mach 500 sound system, etc… At the time of purchase I was informed that this Mustang has NEVER been driven in the rain or any inclement weather. Upon my acquisition of the car, I too have maintained this unique trait and to this day, this Mustang GT has yet to be driven in the rain or exposed to any inclement weather. This Mustang is a true “Garage Queen” with only 11,150 miles on the odometer.
The exterior of this mustang has exceptional OEM paint (Alloy Gray code G5) and looks as close to showroom condition as possible (as would be expected, there are a couple of VERY MINOR road chips at the front bumper area which are almost impossible to locate with the naked eye). This Mustang has never been in an accident and does not have any dings or dents.
The interior of this Mustang shows absolutely NO WEAR. This Mustang is in pristine condition!
You likely will not find a better condition 2008 Mustang GT anywhere in the country, unless it was purchased new and immediately placed into storage.
I have had approximately 20 plus Mustangs of all different generations during the past 40 years. When I choose to upgrade performance I am meticulous, detail oriented and always maintain any eye for a subtle yet aggressive look, plus performance and exceptional handling. To that end, this Mustang has been carefully upgraded with the following:
ENGINE: I acquired this Mustang with approximately 9000 miles on the odometer. At 10,110 miles I installed a complete Paxton Supercharger system provided by BRENSPEED (Indiana & Texas performance Mustang tuners and parts). This is a low stress, fully matched system, that provides no more than 8-10 PSI of boost and exerts very little stress on the OEM 4.6L engine. This supercharger system is a non-intercooled type. As a part of the supercharger system, Brenspeed includes upgraded Ford Racing 39lb injectors, Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump, and an SCT tuning device with a custom tune matched to this specific Mustang. General power estimates given for this combination are approximately 540HP at the flywheel. This Mustang runs and drives flawlessly, as if it was still completely stock. However, when requested, the power curve is very strong and smooth. [By looking at the photos of the engine bay, you will see exceptional attention to mild customization and attention to detail]
EXHAUST: To match the configuration of this supercharger system the best, the OEM exhaust system was maintained. At the rear, Ford Racing GT500 mufflers were added, giving the exhaust a more powerful note, all the while maintaining a comfortable driving experience with no “drone”.
SUSPENSION: This Mustang handles amazingly! An acquaintance of mine who owns a GT500 has driven this Mustang GT and was embarrassed to say that it out handled his car by an extreme degree. This Mustang has STEEDA sport springs and STEEDA struts & shocks. The car sits slightly lower, as a result, and although the handling is superb the ride remains very comfortable. Also part of the suspension are GRANATELLI front & rear sway bars, WHITELINE rear control arms, and upgraded bushings at all locations. The gem of the suspension set-up at the rear is a FAYS2 Watts Link, which manages the rear suspension and body roll (This FAYS2 watts link is also used by Ford on many Shelby GT500 models). As a complete package, this suspension set-up allows the car to handle like a “slot car”, limited body roll and strong ability to track through corners while maintaining a good ride.
BRAKES: Upgraded to Ford Racing M-2300-S 14” front Brembo brakes and GOODRIDGE performance brake lines. The rear brakes were treated to a custom system that upgrades the rear rotors to 14” GT500 rotors while retaining the OEM rear calipers (Faux Brembo caliper covers were added to the rear in order to match the actual Brembo front calipers). This Mustang brakes strong and true!
EXTERIOR: Wonderful OEM paint. CDC front lower spoiler, GT500 rear spoiler, billet rear GTemblem, front fog light delete kit by Ford Racing.
INTERIOR: Any photos seen here do not do justice to the exceptional OEM interior. To maintain the pristine OEM look but enhance the performance aspect only a couple of minor upgrades were added with no alteration to originality. A Ford Racing “push button start” button was added to the dash (fully functional). Also necessary was the ability of the driver to monitor important systems related to the addition of the supercharger. To accomplish this, a PLX touch screen wide band monitor gauge was added to the center-most OEM dash vent (see photos). This gauge provides real time feedback of air fuel ratio, boost & voltage.
WHEELS & TIRES: To finish off the look and stance of this Mustang, a set of 2010 GT500 OEM Ford Racing wheels were added. This is a set of staggered 18x9” wheels in front and 18x9.5” wheels on the rear. The wheels are in pristine condition. Tires for this combo were matched, again, to that of a GT500, using proper OEM sized GOODYEAR F-1 performance tires. The tires are like new.
Overall, this Mustang GT is a labor of love and, as explained, only assembled using exceptional detail and quality parts, OEM and otherwise. The car has only 11,150 original miles and looks as if it has even fewer miles than that. This Mustang is a joy to drive, extremely reliable and is assembled to provide trouble free performance. Since the collective total value invested in performance upgrades is conservatively between $8-10,000 it is clear to see you could not buy and build this same Mustang again for the eventual selling price.
The supercharger system is high quality, and technologically sound. One note regarding the Paxton supercharger system is that the package assembled by Brenspeed in this instance, is not C.A.R.B. (California Air Resources Board) certified, technically not giving it aftermarket certification in California only in spite of the fact that this car meets emissions standards at the tail pipe. Thus, if you were a true California resident interested in this Mustang you would likely need to temporarily return the car to OEM standards for certification, then re-install the supercharger system (I do have ALL OEM parts if needed or requested). Note that I am informed by BRENSPEED that this system as installed will meet ALL OTHER STATES requirements for registration and emissions. (although many states still have no emission mandates)
Should you be interested in this Mustang GT, and are planning on bidding or buying, I would ask that you message me so that we may initiate personal contact. I am a 100% Ebay seller and I intend on maintaining this status, so I feel important to have a detailed discussion about the car so I may answer any and all question or address any clarifications. You will be able to buy with confidence if you wish to purchase this Mustang. This car has a clear title and is ready to sell.
[As with all vehicle purchases on Ebay, the car can be purchased and, once paid for, can be shipped anywhere in the country. Although shipping would be the buyer responsibility, I guarantee that I will avail myself to facilitate and coordinate with the chosen shipper.]
